[applause] >> flat out, end of story. they are the engines of job creation in our state. and let me be clear, this is a comprehensive program to cut taxes by $1.4 billion. i'll talk about a few the specifics. we propose lowering the sales tax from five and a half to 5%. we also propose broadening the base. and in doing so, we will be able to provide a 50% tax cut to our small businesses, a 50% tax cut. for example, if a business has $40,000 worth of income, they will only pay taxes on $20,000. what a shot in the arm. and remember something, these are the people who create nearly 50% of the jobs. you know, when we think about job creation we tend to think about all the big companies, the big opera
